The
humblest and the most unseen activity in the world can be the true worship of
God. Work and worship literally become
one. Our chief end is to glorify God and
to enjoy Him for ever; and we carry out that function when we do what God sent
us into the world to do. Work well done
rises like a hymn of praise to God. This
means that the doctor on her rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the
teacher in her classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at her canvas,
the retail associate at his counter, the typist at her computer, the mechanic
in his shop, the stay-at-home mom or dad in the kitchen -- all who are doing
the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of
worship.
